Description
The Fortunate Macaroni, 9x6 Print, Number #18 in series, which has been framed in 11.5x9 frame & double matted with linen style mat & glass. Good Vintage condition. Please see photos. There were a set of twenty-four Macaroni fashion plates drawn by one of England's first caricaturists, Mary Marley, & engraved & printed by her husband, Mathew Marley, in 1772. During the 18th century, macaroni was the satirical term for men who sported elaborate clothing & continental affectations. Lampooning various occupations & specific styles, these are reproductions of period cartoons. These amusing prints are copies of English caricatures produced between 1765 & 1790, directed at the young moderns of the time, known as macaroni's. A group of privileged young Englishmen adopted styles & manners they had admired during their travels in Italy & France. They formed the Macaroni Club (macaroni being virtually unknown in England at the time), an eating club where they vied with one another in matters of dress & manners. Extremes developed & soon spread into larger society. We offer FREE shipping to the lower 48 US States Only. Buyers from other locations please contact us first about shipping costs.
